3M Scotch 69 Scotch 69 Cloth Tape, 33m x 9mm, White, Glass Finish

Introducing the 3M™ 69, this is a premium Glass Cloth tape that offers protection to surfaces and materials electrically insulate and provide mechanical protection at high temperatures. Constructed from a woven fibreglass backing incorporates a silicone adhesive, which is great for applications requiring high-temperature applications.

The 69 from 3M™ is a strong and durable tape that is designed to perform at high temperatures. It is designed for use on 600-volt dry location applications motors, and transformers with and without varnish coating. On top of that, it can withstand intermittent temperatures of up to 200°C. This is dependant on the type and duration of the heat source.

• Glass cloth tape with a high-temperature, thermosetting, silicone adhesive
• Adhesive provides an increased bond once applied in areas of high ambient temperatures
• Edge-tear resistant conformable, high-temperature flame resistant
• For use as a coil cover, anchor, banding and core, layer and crossover insulation
• Printable
• UL recognized for continuous use up to 200°C

• Reinsulating and repairing coils on mining machines
• Splicing silicone-covered glass wire where splices require more abrasion resistance and mechanical strength than can be provided by silicone tapes Insulating Class “H” dry-type transformer leads
• Insulating splices made on SA type wire in heat treat areas
• Especially suited to high-temperature applications
• Used in a variety of coil/transformer and motor applications, including an outer wrap for bobbin wound coils, banding arbour wound coils, lead pad to hold down, end turn and lead anchor and connection.

These tapes generally have a shelf life of five years if stored correctly from the manufacturer's dispatch date.

There are many backing materials available on cloth tapes:

• Fabric/cloth such as cotton is used to improve the tensile strength, heat resistance and electrical resistance. Woven fibres are stronger than non-woven.
• Glass/Fiberglass are reinforced with glass or fibreglass particles. This enhances the heat resistance.
• Plastic/Polymer is protected by a liner in the form of a tape, film or laminate.
• PET/Polyester have a high resistance to solvents and age well.

The very common and versatile duct tape and gaffa tapes are both types of cloth-backed tape, though they are different in their adhesive and type of backing. Gaffer tape, for example, is a fabric material that is heat resistant and non-reflective with an adhesive that does not leave marks when removed from the surface, and so is suited to temporary applications. As such, it is ideal for theatre and studio applications where subtly, versatility and reliability are needed. Duct tape is a broad term that includes many different steps of material and adhesive, but are typically characterized by a polyethylene film and a rubber-based adhesive. It's strength, cohesion and ability to tear easily means it is suitable for a number of applications where permanence is required.

3M are a trusted name in tapes and adhesives. With a huge range of versatile and specialist tapes, 3M support dozens of industries and applications, from heavy-duty construction to DIY around the home. Whatever your needs, 3M supplies an adhesive tape that won't let you down.

This cloth tape is designed for durability and versatility in a wide range of applications. The 9mm width and 33m length offer an ample supply for various tasks, while the silicone adhesive ensures a strong bond. Composed of glass cloth, it provides enhanced resistance and a clean finish, making it suitable for demanding environments.

• Silicone adhesive material ensures exceptional bonding strength and durability
• Glass cloth backing offers superior tensile strength for industrial use
• Elongation at break of 5% allows flexibility in usage
• 4.4 N/cm adhesion strength ensures a strong grip on surfaces

• Used for electrical insulation and protection
• Ideal for securing wires and cables in automation systems
• Suitable for durable repairs in mechanical industries
• Effective for bundling and holding in electronics and electrical tasks

The silicone adhesive performs well under high temperatures, maintaining its bonding strength up to 200°C, which is beneficial in various industrial applications.

While this cloth tape excels in high-temperature environments, its performance outdoors may vary based on exposure to moisture and UV light, so it is best to assess environmental conditions.

With a tensile strength of 314 N/cm, this feature is crucial for ensuring that the tape can withstand significant pulling forces without tearing, making it reliable for demanding applications.

While designed for strong adhesion, it is also effective for temporary repairs due to its easy application and removal without damaging surfaces, particularly in industrial settings.

This tape provides effective bonding to various surfaces, including metal, plastics, and glass, making it suitable for tasks in diverse industrial sectors.
